| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II wearing the George IV State Diadem, with elaborately styled hair, as designed by Ian Rank-Broadley. The truncation of the bust bears the engraver's initials IRB. The peripheral legend reads ALDERNEY ELIZABETH II, with the date 2008 inscribed at the lower field. The mirror-like proof field provides strong contrast against the finely detailed portrait. |
